In the tradition of the wildly popular gay shorts anthologies 'Boy's Life' and 'Boys in Love' comes QUEER AS F**K, an exciting and provocative collection of twisted gay-themed films. These award-winning hilarious and provo... more &raquocative films draw upon the darker, weirder side of cinema, filled with party-loving plastic dolls, vogueing traffic cops, mad scientists, stuttering sidekicks, and adorable break-dancing foreign exchange students. Films include Jeffrey's Hollywood Screen Trick; Shame No More; Soda Pop; The Trey Billings Show as well as the bonus films Dirty Baby Does Fire Island and Pyongyang Robogirl.

JEFFREY'S HOLLYWOOD SCREEN TRICK, Directed by Todd Downing

Inspired by the recent spate of gay romantic comedies, this film brings dozens of anatomically-exceptional Billy® dolls to life through stop-motion animation for the most unusual date movie ever. Starring the voices of Mike Albo (author of Hornito:My Lie Life), comedienne Nora Burns and gay icon David Drake as "The Voice of Gay Men."

SHAME NO MORE, Directed by John Krokidas

Inspired by the U.S. Public Service Announcements of the 1950's, this hilarious short satirizes Fifties conformist mentality and sexual intolerance. Set in the idyllic suburb of Cherry Creek, Shame No More warns of a disease infecting the town's men and women: heterosexuality.

Winner: Best International Short, Rome International Film Festival

Finalist: Student Academy Award

SODA POP, Directed by Patrick McGuinn

Soda Pop is like a cool drink of water on a hot summer day. A trio of friends try to beat the heat in a small town, but the arrival of a sexy Spanish exchange student has one boy's temperature rising. A coming of age story for the yellow hankie set.

Honorable Mention: PlanetOut.com Short Movie Awards; Seattle International Film Festival

THE TREY BILLINGS SHOW, Directed by David Briggs

From the director of Karen Black Like Me comes the ultimate late-night public-access show from hell. David Drake stars in dual roles, as both celebrity-obsessed talk-show host Trey Billings, and as guest star, the Lucy-like legendary TV icon, Dodie Day. Illusions, delusions, and egos collide in this twisted tale of celebrity worship gone wrong.

PYONGYANG ROBOGIRL, Directed by Jouni Hokkanen & Simojukka Rui

Movie Reviews

Bizarre??? Absolutely!!!!

Dave Beards | Sydney Australia | 10/16/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The cover of this DVD boldly proclaims that the short films that lie within are 'bizarre' - and it's an accurate description! Though bizarre in a wonderful, positive way. The six films on this DVD are:Jeffrey's Hollywood Screen Trick: A very funny and witty look at the gay 'dance party' and the associated interaction between gay men at this type of event. Using clever animation involving Billy love dolls, you will be in histerics watching this. Though the ending comes as a shock - but I won't spoil it for you!Shame No More: an extremely clever send up of the 50's propaganda films denoucing homosexuality and the ability to 'cure', though here it is the heterosexuals with the problem! Beautifully filmed to realistically look like a 1950's film.Soda Pop: A lovely tale of unrequited teenage first love. It's amazing how the filmaker made it look like it was shot in the 70's.The Trey Billings Show: The longest of the short films, this deals with a very low budget cable TV show hosted by an interesting character called Trey Billings. The film delves into why alot of gay men worship female icons of yesteryear (though in a total side-splitting way!)Dirty Baby Does Fire Island: Involving an animated baby doll with live footage - you wouldn't believe the situations Baby comes across (but then again, maybe you might!). Includes a beautiful scene of men being intimate.Pyongyang Robogirl: Probably my least favourite of the films, it's basically a film depicting a female traffic controller in an Asian country. Entertaining, though I just couldn't quite get the message!A wonderfully entertaining set of short films. If you enjoy eclectic, artistic filmaking that pushed the boundries of modern culture, go and buy - you won't be dissappointed."

GREAT COLLECTION OF SHORTS

"Bought this because the title made me laugh and ended up with some of the best gay shorts I've ever seen. Much more fun and less cheesy than most of those other "boy's shorts" collections that seem to come out every month. Very smart, subversive, dirty and funny stuff. And I LOVE "Shame No More" and "Dirty Baby Does Fire Island"!"
